It is always fun to try and find new ways to cook the same old ingredients. It is amazing how changing the seasoning or the cooking process, can totally change a dish. I like looking at menus and fliers that come in the mail. I also have tried making each night focus on a different cuisines (Italian, Mexican, Soul Food, Greek, Chinese, American, and Other). This dish can be easily turned into different cuisines by changing the seasonings. By keeping this dish just meat and high alkaline vegetable(s), it is great for Phase 2 of the diet. Add rice or other ingredients as desired to change it up.
Ingredients:
Cut head of cabbage into whole leaves (need 12 leaves for wrap - chop the rest to go inside)
1 lb. of ground meat (I use turkey)
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped onion
seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder,...)
1. Place the 12 whole leaves in boiling water for 2 minutes to soften.
2. Mix the ground meat with the egg, onion and seasoning.
3. Chop the remaining cabbage into small pieces in food processor. Add any other vegetables that you may like to add.
4. Fill the center of each of the whole cabbage leaves with the meat mixture and chopped cabbage. Place a little in the center, fold ends, and roll up.
5. Place the rolls into the crock pot. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Enjoy,
Fanuppa
